Latest Addition To City's Fire-Damaged Houses

If you get out and around our city much, you probably have driven by some of the numerous fire-damaged houses in various Huntington neighborhoods. The latest addition to the city's fire-damaged inventory is this house that burned the night of December 6th. It's located at 1669 11th Avenue. While talking with folks who live on that block, they mentioned that the home was uninsured. The house to the right is supposedly uninsured. It was scorched, but it did not catch fire.

These neighborhood fires are occurring more frequently lately. What is the answer to clearing our city of these burned-out structures?
